Technical FAQs 4

What is a double glass solar panel?

Traditional solar panels typically feature a glass front and a polymer backsheet. In contrast, double glass modules replace the polymer layer with another glass sheet, creating a robust sandwich structure. At IBC SOLAR, we use 2,0 mm x 2,0 mm glass layers, whereas some other market offerings use thinner 1,6 mm x 1,6 mm layers.

What are the advantages of double glass solar panels?

Environmental shielding: Double glass modules provide excellent defense against moisture, corrosion, and UV radiation, reducing the risk of potential-induced degradation (PID). Thermal stability: The identical thermal expansion coefficients of the glass layers minimize stress on solar cells during temperature fluctuations.

What is a glass-glass solar panel?

Glass-glass module structures (Glass Glass or Double Glass) is a technology that uses a glass layer on the back of the modules instead of the traditional polymer backsheet. Originally double-glass solar panels were heavy and expensive, allowing the lighter polymer backing panels to gain most of the market share. Thanks to producers such as:

How much does a double glass solar panel weigh?

1-Weight: Double Glass Solar Panels have a heavier weight than other types of solar panels by almost 6kg for an average solar panel of 390w to 400w. Making it harder to lift & need special equipment to handle the right way.
